Create a new wallet

First, download the mobile app if you haven’t already.

Step 1: Select “Create a new wallet”.

Step 2: Review and accept the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Step 3: Pick your username and set your privacy preferences. This is how other Wallet users can find you and send you payments.

Step 4: Choose your preferred security method, biometrics or a passcode. We recommend biometric authentication.

Step 5: Backup your recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase is the key to your wallet. Keep this safe, as this is the key to access your wallet and Coinbase cannot recover this phrase for you

Select “Backup to cloud” or “Backup manually”. If backing up to the cloud, you’ll be asked to set a password to encrypt your backup. Like your recovery phrase, keep this password safe, as Coinbase cannot recover it for you.

If you choose to “backup manually”, your recovery phrase will be displayed for you to write down, or to copy and paste in a secure location.

Now, confirm the first and last words of your recovery phrase to confirm your backup.
